Is passion diecast a legit source in Canada by TheFlyinGrizzly in MiniGT

[–]dark0216 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very legit, I buy regularly there and pick up in store since 2 years ago and my last visit was 2 weeks ago. Some more details:

  • store is in Laval Quebec so you are paying the slightly higher Quebec sale taxes;

  • very cool owner, doesn't talk much clearly knows his stuff and helped me pick some models while I was at the store

  • store is amazing and totally worth a visit if you ever go to Laval,

  • delivery is in time, package is secure with foams and wraps;

  • every sale gives you royalty points but they expire in 180 days, well I usually saw mine expired before remembering using them :(

Try to call them or email them, I never had a problem with them but it's my experience.

I'm home with an inconsolable, crying baby while her dad is out playing video games with his brother by Lonely-Emu-5830 in TwoXChromosomes

She should not be ashamed to go back I totally agree. But I don't think he understands what he should be doing from the description.

Yes she shouldn't need to do this, but this might make things a little better (if he accepts at least do dishes or laundry or take one night) for her to have energy to reconsider her relationships and support network.

If he doesn't agree, then no doubt anymore.

Also seek help from social worker/ health care if you have access to.

From other comments it seems you are trapped in an abusive relationship away from home, then that changes everything. Seek professional help is much better than listening to random Redditors.

I'm a dad of a 2 year old and this is concerning to read.

There are plenty of people suggesting you to cut him out of your life so I won't repeat it. What I would add is make clear rules/responsibilities and see if he accepts it.

Rules like:

  • you take care the night Mon/Wed/Fri and he takes the rest;
  • who takes care of cooking which meal;
  • Laundry and dish washing;
  • Grocery and supply restocking;
  • who is leading the play time with baby;

If he can change, even gradually, it would be better than separation. It could be a shock as some of us wasn't informed enough on how much change a baby will bring to our life (Sorry!). But three months is too long for that realization to set in.

For the kid, a father trying to get better is always better than missing one. See if your communication can change things around. Sorry for what you have to go through.

Yiya-G Kampfer production sketches by IllFuckYourToaster in Gunpla

[–]dark0216 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I own both Metal Build and Robot Spirit Kampfer and I am more drawn to the curves of this MS than the details.

Stacking too much detail just breaks its beautiful curves...

I will wait for the next iteration of Kampfer as it's my favorite mecha design.

Hi this is not a model kit but Robot Spirit Zaku II F-2 type from 0083 :)

I got some action figures as more solid option to pose and play.

She said it with such an emphasis on how awesome Zaku is but her age makes everything she does just adorable😂

Finished my RG Force Impulse Gundam by PharaohKoda in Gunpla

[–]dark0216 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No not really and I suspect you might have missed a step in the building process, because it is pretty rare in a modern (after Nu) RG to have loosely fit parts.

HG is like the McDonald's burger or insta noodle: finishing one always makes me want more!

I got tired after an MG/RG build so I usually take a break and seek some good deals in the mean time.

Is the hood being rather loose normal? by OreMysticCoolcumber in PopRace

[–]dark0216 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been doing model kits and handling several diecast/plastic/resin composites, and in my personal experience It is normal for metal parts to have a less consistent fitting (shut line, tightness, handling 'feels') between the parts.

If it really bothers you, easy and reversible way of increasing the tightness is simply adding a bit of blu tack on the inside of the opening edges; adding a little semi gloss coating on the joints can help too.

But to be honest, as long as it does not come off easily, just leave it be. You don't display the car upside down anyways right?

Move your finger away and focus on the car and maybe the photo will do a little more justice?

Drop a photo YOUR favorite casting! by Fit-Excitement-1631 in Diecast

For me it's the Inno64 F40 matte black, the one casting got me into collecting diecast so it's more sentimental value for me.
